I grew up with the west coast style of rap and personally like
the following.

Pac
DJ Quick
Whodhini
Easy-E
the young LL cool J

I know each coast got their own style.

 

[sgtryan]

people who add MCs to their list because they liked their "younger years" or "just 2 albums" need to GTFO. dope emcees are dope emcees from the start to the finish.

2. Nas
3. O.C.
4. Rakim
5. Method Man

 

[Moxie]

Nice list - same top 3. Hard to argue against your 4 and 5 spots either. I can tell a lot about you by that list...

haha, I could switch a lot of people into the 3-5 spots, KRS-One, etc.

honorable mentions:
Grandmaster Flash

He's a DJ, you're probably thinking of his partner Melle Mel.

 

[kingscotty38]

1) Rakim
2) Big L
3) Biggie
4) Mobb Deep (Prime) Havoc & Prodigy work so well together that I think they can count
5) Nas

Then Wu-Tang as a group.

Michael jackson would not be considered the king of pop according to your logic. MJ was bad a$s in his teen and twenties but went wacko after that.

LL is the father of "ghetto fabulous" so tough he can "knock u out" yet silky and smooth enough to find that "around the way girl".

I like him as an emcee from start to end but my emphasis was his early years cause I was a young buck back then try'na emulate his style so that the ladies would dig me but still cool enough to hang with the fellas.

so take your own advice and GTFO!

Some of them die before they crash and burn, so that's not even fair. If you can put out a good 2-3 very good albums it's hard to ask for more than that.
